The House in the Clouds was originally a water tower! The house was built around a water tank in 1923 to make it look less ugly. It served the Suffolk neighborhood until 1977, and the tank was removed in 1979. It’s now a 5 bedroom, 3 bath house that you can rent for a minimum two night stay. http://deputy-dog.com/2008/02/28/how-to-disguise-a-water-tower-and-confuse-the-public/
